nice story, gameplay and fun.
Have just read through it and I like it.
just a hundred years left for the final battle...

PUs really are seriously, and ridiculously, overpowered... That's quite a powerhouse Germany has been buit up to!
Hehehe, I also thought that. However, I get 1 infamy per province. Integrating France, Poland or Spain will push me far beyond the infamy limit. Integrating might help with the smaller unions, but still give a lot of infamy and can only be done once per 50 years. Also, integration destroys the relations with all the other partners. I don't want to risk this with Japan with its many partners.Couldn't you just integrate them? I know you won't gain the cores, but you wouldn't have to wait.
Do you plan to make a nasty surprise to the Germans, by gaining territory which is landlocked and does not border any other territory of yours? For example, if you manage to inherit Wu, the little island in the sea of Min... um... I mean Manchu would be unreachable by the Germans, unless they attack or have MA through Manchu
First, Ming/Manchu is also a PU of Japan and thus will also fight in the Final Battle.
I'm doing my best to make Japan as strong as possible. However, if they don't inherit most of their PUs soon...Woah, Spain is in a PU with Germany too! Germany clearly dominates continental Europe now. Hopefully Japan can catch up so that the final battle is super epic.
You're completely right there. My point was that Wu's provinces aren't protected by a neutral state Germany can't attack.True, but they're not westernised. The non-inherited Ming and Manchu armies will be a pushover for Germany+France+Spain...
A bit ahead? Twice the economy, 50% larger army, much better tech and NIs and way less inflation. If both nations will get all their inheritances, I fear the unbalance will only grow. I've to find something to make the Final Battle a challenge...The end game is going to fairly intense. Looking forward to seeing who will win, it still looks like Germany is a bit ahead, mostly because of the PU's with France and Spain.
The idea was indeed to play with Germany, but unless Japan makes an astounding comeback, I think it would be more exciting if I play Japan in the Final Battle.To be honest I forgot if there were some house rule against it, but may be you can play with Japan in the final war?
That's quite impossible, isn't it?Great job so far! Can't wait for Germany vs Japan! (Hope you play as both of them during the final war!)
Oh yes, that's a major reason why you want to inherit even outside your culture group. I'm not sure how much it is, but I tried integration with France and it gave me 55 infamy, so it's not trivial.Wow; had no idea integrating caused infamy!
